Wolf Parade – The Static Age lyrics

[Verse 1]
We love the hand that moves the stars across the sky
Counting the hours 'til we sleep
Daylight always comes
Down on everyone
And then we rise
Back to the life again

[Verse 2]
You get a hollow heart
You get a hollow head
You get to feel just like the living dead
Visions coming on
But they never last for long when they arrive
Here and gone again

[Chorus]
Out in the street
Wild dreams in our hearts
Trying to leave
But we don't know where to start
I don't want to live in a static age
Staying in a place where nothing changes
We can begin again

[Verse 3]
Heard about a king in a golden mask
Heard about an empire built to last
Daylight comes
Turned his face towards the sun
He was surprised
And not the same again

[Chorus]
Out in the street
Wild dreams in our hearts
Trying to leave
But we don't know where to start
I don't want to live in a static age
Staying in a place where nothing changes
We can begin again

[Outro]
Shots ring up from the crowd below
Every empire must rise and fall, I know
Out from the crowd below
Every empire must rise and fall
Here and gone, love
Into the light, into the light
We can begin again
Oh oh oh, we can begin again
